Picked up my Riley Defense RAK47 from my ffl this morning. Ordered it from Atlantic around two weeks ago but had to deal with the 10 day wait BS here in California.Soon as I got home I broke it down. Here are the photos...

This trigger guard rivet has a slight annoying gap

Not the double wire recoil spring guide thingamajig I'm used to seeing

In this position the rear sight has a wiggle to it that I'm not used to. When in the normal position it doesn't wiggle

Liking that it already comes with a pin retainer plate. Saved me a couple bucks to pay for my Brazzers account

For some reason I didn't think the handguard would come with a heat shield. Another little thing I like

Rifle already made me bleed on it. It's officially mine now lol

Will be taking to the range tomorrow morning. Today I have my daughter with me while my wife goes to work so if there is anything that anyone wants me to check or take more pics of just let me know. Overall after inspecting the rifle I like it for what it cost. I'm looking forward to putting some rounds thru it and hopefully it keeps impressing me. Some quick notes-magwell fit Tapco,Magpul,Bulgarian poly,Bulgarian steel, and Polish steel mags perfectly. Barely any wobble in them if at all. The carrier and piston had no wobble to them it was stiff as hell. The safety lever moved past the fire notch. No big deal but slightly annoying. The recoil spring feels weak like my factory Yugo recoil springs have felt.Rifle looks great with the poly furniture.

The retaining clip and heat shield are a nice touch and additions to a budget rifle, like you, I would not have expected them included in this price range as a standard feature.

It's interesting that the right front locking lug edge is apparently filed off where there is normally a "sharp" 90 degree angle to be present. Doing this as a la TEXASGUNSMITH's mod suggestionis as a way to prevent the edge gouging the bolt in that area. Did it on my RAS47 also Interesting.

Looking forward to your opinions now ( unfired ) and after firing.

Any chance of a full shot ( both sides ) of the rifle. Clarity is quite qood and it would show the finish. Doh.. sorry did not see that you had done that already.

I like the rifle and it seems well built so far. I just ran into something I don't like tho. Noticed the handguard on the gas tube was crooked so tried to take it off but couldn't.Its on there wayyyy to snug. To get it off I'm sure I'd mess up the handguard so I guess I have to leave it on there crooked for now. Buttstock does have a storage compartment I believe it's a Phoenix Technology stock.I wrapped a cleaning kit in a cleaning cloth and put it in there right now.

The polymer upper handguard can be move around the axis of the tube, in a circular motion around the gas tube, it just takes a little umph. You can straighten that out no problem. If worse comes to worse, grab the back of the gas tube (the flattened part on the sides, not the circular part) with some channel lock pliers over tape and twist the hand guard.

I tried all that bud. No luck. There's plastic shards around where the gas tube ends meet the handguard ends as if it was super forced on.

I had a wooden set that was damn near impossible to get off or on, for that matter. After hours of trying it took two people, one with the channel lock pliers and me with a rubber bottle top opener on the upper handguard. We finally got it, after a lot of effort. I have an extra black poly upper if you ruin that one, I'll send you for free, if you need it.

Glad you like the rifle, Mike. Mel64d's suggestion regarding the handguard works all the time. Will keep an eye on the orientation of the handgurd; we want the hot part without the lazy eye . Please feel free to call us after you take her to the range to let us know your feedback. Thank you for your support!
